Eat with your Eyes: Myzel’s Licorice Assortment
A little sampling of Licorice from Myzel’s in New York City that I picked up. Most are items I’ve had before, so it was nice to have the comfort of something tried and true. The one on the right end is the only one I’d never had before, it’s thyme and rosemary from Italy. It’s a soft, glycerine style licorice. Not very sweet at all with the balsam notes of the herbs.

Eat with your Eyes: Rivoire Firenze
Since I’m traveling I thought I’d feature a photo today of another chocolate I tried because a friend brought it back from a trip. I don’t know much about these little Rivoire Chocolate pieces from the Rivoire Caffe in Florence, Italy. They’re rich and smooth and just the right size to eat with a cup of coffee.

Eat with your Eyes: Fleur de Sel Caramels
Trader Joe’s has an incredible knack for curating candies from all over the world. One of the other habits of Trader Joe’s, though, is to make certain candies seasonal, available only for the winter holidays. This was the issue with their Trader Jacques Fleur de Sel Caramels. They were originally sold in a round wooden box. That’s nice for gifting, but unnecessary for regular purchases. So it was a happy discovery last year when I saw that Trader Joe’s is now selling the caramels in the little tubs year round (well, they run out from time to time). The price isn’t necessarily better, but at least you won’t have an embarrassing stockpile of wooden boxes that you can’t seem to throw out and only provides evidence for your obsession. Original review here. (7 out of 10) POSTED BY Cybele AT 9:43 am Candy • Trader Joe's • Caramel • Highlight • Photography • Monday, January 28, 2013
Eat with your Eyes: Chocolate Covered Ginger Fudge
I picked up this Darrell Lea Dark Chocolate Covered Ginger Fudge at Cost Plus World Market last year along with some other Darrell Lea items from Australia. The fudge is sweet, not terribly buttery but has numerous pieces of candied ginger in it. Overall, it was earthy and got a nice boost from the woodsy and smoky dark chocolate. I don’t have a full review for the item, but after I bought this one, I didn’t see them in the store again until last week. I’m inclined to buy it again, partly because it’s a unique combination. (Full wrapper photo, if you’re on the prowl for it.) POSTED BY Cybele AT 9:32 am Candy • Darrell Lea • Chocolate • Ginger • Australia • Highlight • Photography • Cost Plus • Monday, December 24, 2012
Merry Christmas
I hope everyone is having a tasty holiday and enjoying all their favorite seasonal sweets and perhaps starting new traditions. Keep safe, hold your loved ones tight and if all that togetherness pushes your buttons, take a candy break. Are you getting or giving confections for Christmas this year? I’m in charge of the stockings this year, so there will be a nice mix of American favorites and a good sampling of German candy in there as well.

Eat with your Eyes: Michel Cluizel Bille
At the Michel Cluizel shop in Manhattan, I was enchanted by the look of these little chocolate spheres. Inside the chocolate and sparkly ones is dark chocolate and a little bit of crisped rice. The red ones are white chocolate inside. I loved the elegant holiday look. POSTED BY Cybele AT 1:05 pm Candy • Christmas • Michel Cluizel • Highlight • Photography • Friday, June 8, 2012
Eat with your Eyes: Good and Plenty
There’s pretty long list of candy that does well in the summer’s heat. Panned candies, those with a sugar shell, do particularly well. So for those who want a little licorice treat, I still like Good & Plenty. It’s not chocolate, but it has plenty of hearty and deep flavors because of the molasses base. One of my other favorite all-weather candies is Chick-o-Sticks. What’s your favorite summertime candy? POSTED BY Cybele AT 10:38 am Candy • Highlight • Photography • Thursday, May 17, 2012
Eat with your Eyes: Luden’s Cool Menthol
My day job has been kicking my butt for the last month and I’ve run out of time to write posts at the moment, so you’ll just have to look at something that I’ve been eating but probably won’t review. Early mornings, late nights, European kiss greetings to co-workers, coffee breath ... I’m eating cough drops. Enjoy this peek at the new packaging for Luden’s Cough Drops. I miss the old salmon orange box, but thankfully the menthol cough drops inside are just the same as I remember. POSTED BY Cybele AT 7:33 am Candy • Highlight • Photography •
